Hi Paul,
Pity about the QRN - almost all of europe currently has no lightning but
your part of the eastern baltic sea :

still on frequency waiting to finish the qso..

Fb, my favourite 'holiday radio' - I also use an IC706 on MF, plus an
extra audio filter.
The 'foot' of the MF antenna has been an antenna itself many years ago,
I assume ?

Hello
The international lighthouse and lightship weekend is next weekend,
August 16-17.
The Top Radio Club OH1AH will be travelling to Utö island (KO09QS) to
activate the lighthouse there and like last year we will also set up a
station for 472...479 kHz.
There is unobstructed take-off directly to the baltic sea so daytime
ground-wave contacts could be possible down to the coasts of Poland
and Germany.
We will be running approximately 1 W EIRP on MF. Daytime there will be
a beacon signal on air when possible. The planned frequency is 472.5
kHz +/- QRM.
We will travel on Thursday 14 th and hope to have the MF and SW
stations up and running on Friday 15 th in the afternoon. Dismantling
will start in the morning of Sunday 17 th in order to catch the
afternoon ferry back to the mainland.
Despite it's remote location Utö is a small nightmare when it comes to
MF/SW reception as the island is literally packed with electronics and
switchmode equipment. We will do our best to hear your signals anyway
but may need a little luck and that QSB peak to complete the QSO. At
least this was the situation last year.
Possible announcements will be made here and/or DX-summit.
It is OK to QSP this message to Yahoo and the NDB-list etc. I have
lost my accounts there so have no direct access anymore.
Here are a couple of pictures from last year in a forum thread:
